United Kingdom
A licence or registration may be transferred in writing by the licensing authority which issued the licence or registration, to any other person who wishes to manufacture or store explosives in place of the licensee or the person who is registered and who applies to the licensing authority for the transfer.
A licensing authority shall grant an application for a transfer of a licence or registration unless it is of the opinion that the applicant is not a fit person —
to store explosives, in the case of an application to transfer a registration or a licence to store explosives; or
to manufacture explosives, in the case of an application to transfer a licence to do so.
Where a licensing authority is of an opinion referred to in sub-paragraph (a) or (b) of paragraph (2), it shall, subject to regulation 18, refuse the application to transfer the licence or registration, as the case may be.
